' it will be obvious to those who are familiar with such matters that many departures may be made ,lrom the speeilie eonstruetion and 1' arrangement of the parts shown above (which discloses one form only in which the invention may be embodied) and yet the essentials of the invention he employed. I therefore do not limit myself to such details.
